Qualifications

Because we hiring several engineers to build a new team we have the flexibility to hire a range of profiles from senior level engineers and those just getting started in their engineering career to focus on back-end, middle and front-end challenges. If you have a CS degree, write clean, readable and maintainable code that works (yeah, your code has to work)…you’re almost there. We’d love it if you’ve worked with Ruby and better yet with Java too. Still, if you’re fluent in more than one language (Perl, Ruby, Java, Python, C#/C++/C) and have worked with database development, algorithms, data structures, networking, database design and optimization, then you’ve got what we need. Throw in experience working in Open Source internet platforms and you’ll move to the front of the line.
